IPhone landscape orientation

My iPhone 5s won't rotate to landscape in any situation--keyboard, videos, etc. what do I need to do?

Swipe up from the very bottom of the screen to expose Control Center and see if the orientation lock is on (last item on the top right).
NOTE: Not all apps and functions have a landscape mode.

How to read ibooks on landscape orientation one page at a time on iPhone 6 Plus

How can I force iPhone 6 Plus to show me only one page at the time on landscape orientation on iBooks. Right now it show me one page at the time if it is in portrait orientation but as soon as I turn the phone to landscape orientation it splits and shows me two pages ie page 1 and page 2.

I've looked everywhere I can think of to change the way that iBooks handles this and cannot find an option to change it. If you choose scrolling view then it will not show two columns but then you scroll to read rather than turning "pages."

After updating to iOS 8.0.2 in my iPhone 5S, why does automatic landscape orientation doesn't work?

I recently updated to iOS 8.0.2 in my iPhone 5S. Since that update, landscape orientation doesn't work for any application. I have ensured that the Portrait Orientation lock is Off.

I have a workaround, if you lock then unlock the orientation lock it seems to work again.

I have managed to lock the landscape orientation on my iphone 3 - any ideas as to how I unlock it please?

Im not aware that you can lock your screen in landscape so I'm assuming you have locked it in portrait and want to allow it to ne seen landscape, therefore double click the Home button, swipe the icons to the right, you will see an icon with a circle-arrow. That is your screen orientation lock.
Assuming again you have iOS5 have a look at the following for more help, page 21

Importing from iPhone 4 - ORIENTATION

When I import vertically oriented video from my iphone 4, iMovie re-orients it horizontally. Now everything is sideways. I didn't have this problem when importing from my 3GS. Anyone else dealing with this? Any suggestions? Thanks!

To use a printing metafor, iMovie always works in "landscape" mode. So if you shot the video in "portrait" mode it will be turned 90 degrees.
EDIT: I was notified about this thread since I got the following e-mail:
"You have requested mail to be sent to you when messages to the Apple Discussions *forum "iMovie HD 6"* are posted. BigRed27 posted "Importing from iPhone 4 - ORIENTATION" on Oct 17, 2010 9:44:01 AM."
But this thread is in the "iPhone 4" forum, NOT the "iMovie HD 6" forum. What gives???
Anyway, my statement about iMovie is about iMovie 6 (and earlier).

I found a possible CSS-only solution on Stack Overflow - was written for iPhone Portrait but I'd imagine the pixels could be adapted for iPad Landscape.

How to change to landscape orientation in Pages for iPhone4s?

Does anyone know how to change to landscape orientation in Pages for iPhone 4s and iPad?

The functionality on an iPhone is greatly diminished when having to work in potrait mode due to the screen size; it really becomes a bit useless.
It seeems a no-brainer; I guess that's why I asked on the forum.
Maybe someone else knows more.?
I hope that you're not right but think you probably are.
Thanks again for offering to help!

Landscape orientation locked

Somehow I must have locked my Mail app in landscape orientation on my new iPhone 4. How do I unlock it so that Mail shows up in portrait mode instead of landscape?

I had the same problem with my iphone 5s with latest ios 7. i tried everything including restarting several times, but nothing worked, all apps immediately went landscape mode unless i had phone locked in portrait mode. I finally decided that the accelerometer was physically broken. I went to the compass app to test the accelerometer and at first it didn't work right. then I went to the "level" app which is part of the compass and starting turning my phone over and over and eventually the accelerometer recalibrated itself and everything works fine now. So try that.

Iphone device orientation

Hi,
I am facing strange problem with UIDevice setOrientation method and I will really appreciate if someone could solve this problem.
I am navigating between two view controllers thru push and pop. Screen A is list of image series and Screen B display images in scrollview of that series. For a particular series I want to show images in landscape mode so I use
Code:
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
in viewDidAppear method of Screen B.
This works fine and Interface is rotated to landscape. Please note device is still held as portrait.
Now if I go back to screen A by "POP", Screen A is displayed as landscape orientation, device is still in portrait. Although shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method return true on A screen then why it is not rotating to portrait, since device is held as portrait.
shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation on screen B restrict the interface orientation to landscape.
I have spent more than two days now to solve this out but couldn't find a solution. plz help.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you may be doing wrong. In my apps, I generally lock down one orientation, but after seeing your post when I next looked at the UIViewController Class Reference which you can reach by right-click or control-click on any UIVuewController class or method name in your code and select find in API reference,
I found this:{quote}Handling View Rotations
By default, the UIViewController class displays views in portrait mode only. To support additional orientations, you must override the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method and return YES for any orientations your subclass supports. If the autoresizing properties of your views are configured correctly, that may be all you have to do. However, the UIViewController class provides additional hooks for you to implement additional behaviors as needed.
To temporarily turn off features that are not needed or might otherwise cause problems during the orientation change, you can override the willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration: method and perform the needed actions there. You can then override the didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation: method and use it to reenable those features once the orientation change is complete.
If you want to perform custom animations during an orientation change, you can do so in one of two ways. Orientation changes used to occur in two steps, with notifications occurring at the beginning, middle, and end points of the rotation. However, in iPhone OS 3.0, support was added for performing orientation changes in one step. Using a one-step orientation change tends to be faster than the older two-step process and is generally recommended for any new code.
To add animations for a one-step orientation change, override the willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration: method and perform your animations there. To use the older two-step method, override one or both of the willAnimateFirstHalfOfRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration: and willAnimateSecondHalfOfRotationFromInterfaceOrientation:duration: methods to configure your animations before each step. You must choose only one technique and override just the methods associated with that technique. If you override either method associated with the two-step technique, the view controller uses that technique by default.
{quote}
My take on that is that you may need to play around with overriding willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration and didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation.
These and some of the other available methods are not in the standard templates and you have to add them yourself. I'd say take a good look at the docs again and see if it explains the behavior you are seeing and then make your changes one at a time and see what changes.
I've learned the hard way that making a bunch of changes to something that worked and finding which thing broke some behavior is really hard unless you know exactly what set of changes will affect a specific behavior.
Let us know if this helps.

Supporting locking landscape orientation

It's really convinent to lock the landscape orientation when reading. So will the future version of reader support it ?

The only thing, what is necessary, is to NOT support iPhone upside down orientation. I can't imagine a case when somebody needs to read PDF and hold iPhone in upside down position.
If upside down orientation is not supported and you turn iPhone to this position (e.g. when uou read in bed), the screen remains in landscape orientation and that is the desired efect. None Apple application support upside down orientation. See for example apps: iBooks, Safari, Messages, Email, Notes, Calendar, Music, ...

Force Landscape Orientation?

Does anybody know of a way to force landscape orientation for a view controller in an iPhone application?
I have defined a UI in Interface Builder that I want to always show in landscape mode.
When the app first starts though, it is always in Portrait Mode.
Once the orientation is changed to landscape it will never go back to Portrait since I have setup the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method correctly, but I can't seem to figure out a way to start it out in landscape mode.

Andrew, I'm having a very similar problem. Have you found a solution yet?
I have an app that has two screens, one is displayed landscape, and the other is displayed portrait. The user can press a button to swap between them. When I switch between the views I call
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
or
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
to put the device into the correct orientation for whichever view I'm about to display.
Problem is, if the user is on the landscape screen, rotates the phone to portrait, and then presses the button to switch to the screen that is in portrait, the new view gets put on in the wrong orientation (landscape). If the user then rotates the device to landscape and back to portrait, it fixes itself. It's like the phone ignored the call to [[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait]; if the device is already being held in portrait orientation.
I've been at this for a few days now, and I'm really stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Why is Aperture video editing limited to landscape oriented videos only?

I have iPhone videos that I've imported into Aperture 3. Only the landscape oriented videos feature the pop-up box that allows you to scroll back and forth within a video, trim the video, edit it, etc. Portrait oriented videos only offer play and pause.
Is this true for others? It seems a bit ridiculous. I've done some searching and can't find any references to this elsewhere.

Is this true for others? It seems a bit ridiculous.
I never noticed, but for videos in "Portrait" mode I also do not see any "Edt" and Trim" options, only the "play" button:

Lock the app in Landscape orientation

I want to lock a app in landscape mode. So that i have used - (BOOL)shouldAutorotate { return NO;} and - (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations { return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;}.
